What is the cause of slow water output in a new system
29656
You have to a few hours if just installed..what's happening is that regular water pressure in trying to Squeeze tap water thru 3 water filters...that's why they give you a 3 gal holding tank..it keeps 3 gals in reserve because it takes a while to recharge the system...give it about 3-4 hours...you're going to love it..

Sounds like either it's not heating up and building pressure, or like there's a leak in the system. Either way, for an inexpensive machine like this, it will likely cost more to fix than to just replace.

Good question . I'm guessing that Culligan has changed the filter element/component for some reason . Mine is the same way and becomes progressively slower after about two weeks of use despite the fact that I replace the filter every thirty days . I presume it's because it is filtering and whatever is being filtered out is responsible for clogging the filter . The filter looks to be the same as previous filters but , as you pointed out , the slow flow has an unacceptable flow rate .I'll be looking for another filtering assembly next month .

Might be the valve on the water tank. Other than signaling that the brew cycle is done a little early, no issues for me.

perhaps you may have a kink in the water line. Is it the hot. cold or both lines that exhibit low pressure.

Maybe it's because you just turned it on. If you just turn it on high it will drop down to a lower speed until the water circulates and then go back up. It takes about 5 minutes.

check to make sure the impeller is properly installed and that the unit is fully primmed (full of water) would be my guess.

Your system is under designed for the application. How far is the hot water going from the heaters, and being recirculated? My guess is you've exceeded the over length for your setup. Or possibly something's effecting your system. I.E. One units out or you have pipe that not insulated. Your tank heaters is on and heating at full power constantly, that's the only thing that will burn the elements so fast, under normal conditions the elements last 10years. Sometimes water quality can affect the length of time a element will last. But it's really rare to have to replace them that fast. Hard to say what will fix it without details. These little things are designed to go under a sink and heat just enough water to wash your hands etc... Not heat a whole house.

Howdy, A slow running navigator is likely due to the following: 1. Low pressure / suction in the line. Try backwashing the system for about 4 minutes and see if there is a difference. 2. Dirt in the gears or an object in the navigator itself. Take the unit to the pool store and have them take a look at it. 3. A hole or crack in the hoses that connect to the navigator. Replace the defective hoses. 4. Leaves and debris in the baskets at the pump and skimmer hole. 5. An object stuck in the PVC pipes that run between the pool and the pump (usually underground) but this is unlikely the cause. I think 1-4 are things you can look at yourself. If none of these help...it might be time to call the local pool store to see if they have pool guys who can come and check it out. Good Luck!

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

There is markedly less water. 0.5 gpm from Moen for Green Effect. Need to find part to put it back to 2.2 gpm.

Not sure, my system is very quiet after that first fill up. Maybe it's defective, try calling customer service.

I feel like it is not getting full water supply. That is the only reason I know of that it would do that. How are you running it, like, in line with another pump or what? You may want to rebleed all your lines and then check it again.

If this is a new filter, water should not be coming out slowly. If on the other hand you replaced cartridges you may have installed a cartridge upside down.

Yes it is normal. I have the same system. Its the design of the system. The way it works the filters are never under pressure. The pros are you don't have to worry about water leaks. the con is its annoying that it takes time to shut off. The more pricier ones have a pressurized tank allowing better flow control or instant shut off.

It's difficult for me compare. In our previous house water pressure was quite low and water flow from the filter faucet was slow. Now, I've decided to buy system with a booster pump to be on a safe side. I have no regrets. Even though water pressure looks higher.
